Patrick Staff\u2019s new film, \u201cThe Foundation\u201d, shot at Tom of Finland\u2019s rambling clapboard home in the Echo Park neighbourhood of Los Angeles, delves into the artist and gay icon\u2019s legacy. \u201cIn my film, the Tom of Finland Foundation is revealed as an archive and a centre for the community of people who care for it,\u201d says staff. \u201cit\u2019s an office but also a domestic environment, complete with an active BDSM dungeon.\u201d
\nThe leather-clad muscular bodies in Tom of Finland\u2019s drawings have come to define a particular hyper-masculine representation of gay men, one that conflicts with Staff\u2019s own queer, trans-identity. Taking up informal residence at the foundation in summer 2014, helping out with the digitisation of their collection of erotic films on deteriorating VHS tapes, he began to grapple with questions of inheritance and identity: \u201cI feel a connection to the older generation of gay men, particularly in relation to AIDS, like I have an \u2018inheritance\u2019. But it is a complex thing.\u201d
\nWhile participating in a prestigious programme\u00a0for young filmmakers at the London-based moving-image agency, LUX, Staff took ballet lessons, and this has influenced the film. By incorporating elements of choreography and improvisational theatre techniques into his work, Staff maintains the immediacy of live performance, combined with the urgency of his own activist politics.\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\nPowerfully political and deeply personal, this is Staff\u2019s most ambitious project to date, and marks his debut on the international stage, with presentations at Chisenhale Gallery in London, Spike Island, Bristol, the Institute of Modern Art in Brisbane and the Contemporary Art Gallery, Vancouver.
